More Info on fLiNG's History in the Bega valley will be added soon. Stay tuned!

fLiNG Physical Theatre was founded in 2001 by Lee Pemberton.

FOUnding Artistic Director

Lee Pemberton 
Lee is a regionally based artist who left Melbourne in 1999 to live in the Bega Valley where she founded fLiNG Physical Theatre and remained as Artistic Director from 2001 until 2015. In the valley, Lee's choreographic explorations have included working with youth, community, and school children. Her work crossed borders into gymnastic and naturalistic movement so that she could 'keep the audience engaged' whilst building conceptual ideas in dance and maintaining interest in the making process with her young dancers.

In 2016 Lee was awarded a NSW Regional Artists Fellowship titled ‘Heritage, Lineage and Future’ and will be embarking on a research project which will support her transition from youth company director. It will draw upon the combined knowledge of residents living in the Bega Valley who have had extraordinary careers in dance, music and culture and their strong connection with the local landscape and history.
